If you would like to participate in the Flickr Photo of the Week contest, all you need to do is upload your photo to our Flickr group page. It’s fine to submit a photo you took earlier than the current week, but we are hoping that the contest will inspire you to go out and shoot something fantastic this week to share with Art&Seek users. If the picture you take involves a facet of the arts, even better. The contest week will run from Tuesday to Monday, and the Art&Seek staff will pick a winner on Friday afternoon. We’ll notify the winner through FlickrMail (so be sure to check those inboxes) and ask you to fill out a short survey to tell us a little more about yourself and the photo you took. We’ll post the winners’ photo on Tuesday.

Flicker Photo of the Week Winner, Michael Hogan

Now here’s more from Michael.

Title of photo: “Teaching An Old Dog New Tricks”

Equipment: Canon SX50

Tell us more about your photo: I didn’t know anything about the Paddlefest event prior to taking this photo. I was riding my bike from Trinity Park to the Stockyards along the Trinity Trail. I took this photo just before I got to the Panther Island Pavilion. There were several dogs in the Trinity River at the time, so I knew I had a pretty good chance to walk away with a cute picture.
